The next course scheduled for Falls Church, VA is C-626 "Virtual" Upper Extremity, which will be taught online by Angela Gordon on February 6-7, 2021.
NAIOMT has made the decision to move all courses online for the remainder of 2020 and the period January to March 2021. Please note, this is not an irrevocable decision; we'll review the situation in mid-January. If things are better then, we'll be more than willing to make changes. However, at this point, it is critical that we provide our students, faculty, and course sites with certainty, and this decision allows us to achieve that in the safest manner possible, while also not compromising our effectiveness in the classroom.
